Charlie Sheen has launched another crude attack against his bosses at CBS and Warner Bros following Thursday's announcement that the remaining season of Two and a Half Men has been scrapped.
On Friday, Sheen (now in the Bahamas) called into the radio show Loose Cannons and lashed out at his bosses - whom he called "clowns" - for "getting up in my grill, telling me how to live my personal life."
"I kept saying back off, back off - and they wouldn't," he added. "I kept asking for that respect and I couldn't get it.

I’m a capitalist for certain but capitalism shouldn’t rise and fall on the likes of someone like Charlie Sheen. God help us if it ever does. I’m reminded of just a few years ago I don’t know if it was put on during a ratings sweep or during one of the SuperBowls as an alternative to the games half-time show but a re-broadcast of a very particularly funny episode of “The Carol Burnett Show’’( I think it was the one where they did the’’ Gone With The Wind’’ parody) drew millions of viewers. The response to it was phenomenal. That says a lot. It says a lot about America and where it was then and where it is now.
People like Charlie can't do that. It's a shame they are rewarded so highly for being able to hold it together for a half hour a week at most if they shoot in front of a live studio audience. Even then they have at least a chance of a second take. Not the kind of people I dealt with.
Does he show up for work and do his job? Yes? Then what’s the issue?
** . . . they had to work for an hour to cut and bleep his foul language out. **
Thanks for the info - I didn’t know this.
But he's cool, man, way cool....and we can find 20 different excuses on this thread so far why folks should keep watching him.
But hippety-hop over to the other thread today....and what do we read......
".......don't watch Glenn Beck 'cause he's a kook".
Cool, way cool.

“Charlie Sheen...not Jewish...”
Can’t they settle this in a civilized fashion like gentlemen (or gentle-half-men) on the field of honor?
Say vodka, cocaine, and hookers at fifty paces?
As Charlie and Emilio said in “Men at Work”:
“Golf clap?”
“Golf clap.”
[patpatpatpatpatpatpatpatpat...]
“...but my father thinks he is...”
"... I expressed an opinion and I got the First Amendment behind me..."
He's in for a REAL surprise-as well as a true learning experience-if he thinks any of this BS is Constitutionally protected.
See ya at the unemployment office Charlie.
Yes, Sheen demanding answers as do the Ttruthers' whom he parrot! "Inside Job". . .cover up; how did WTC collapse - by a plane yet? Ahhh, really; maybe I will take a look/see; but really do not want to go there!
When I time. .. later, perhaps. But sounds like the usual 'Truther' drivel. . .
I guess I’m kinda on Charlie’s side. So, long as he doesn’t commit a crime (drugs, slapping women around, etc)his personal conduct is his own business.
He has an employer who is investing money in him. He is free to do whatever they hell he wants with his “own business”...but they are also free to tell him that he is too big a risk for them to invest THEIR money in.
No argument about your employer/investor comment.

“I kept asking for that respect and I couldn’t get it.”
Lets see. Hookers, Porn stars, drunken orgy’s in restaurants, cocaine abuse and wife beating. Gee I don’t know why the guy can’t get any respect.
Carlos Estevez publicly bad-mouthing Chaim Levine on the Alex Jones show. Now that’s entertainment. I didn’t know 911 truther Alex still had a show.
Seriously, folks...if it comes down to war between Charlie on one hand and CBS and Warner Bros. on the other (i.e., Viacom and Time Warner), I know who my money’s on and it’s not our nosepacking friend.
This kid needs a serius thumping, his ego is running away with him.
Looks like his show is done, and I think it’s the #1 sitcom. Wow. Your castmates thank you Chuck.
Sheen says he’s gonna get a new show on HBO. HBO says he must be on crack cause they don’t know what he’s talking about. Good times.
Folks seem to forget that he's an entertainer and I for one am hugely entertained by his antics.
The studio suits and the moralizing majority guts are all twisted up while Charlie is off in the Bahamas with his "goddesses".
I hope he's having a great time.
If his only vice was women, that’s one thing. The drugs and booze are killing him, he’s ‘Leaving Las Vegas.’
